阿惟越致遮經釋果想品第十一
賢者阿難而說偈言：
The Venerable Ānanda spoke these verses:
世尊所演說， 假號名泥洹， 喻之若虛空， 度於無所有。
What the World-Honored One expounds, Is provisionally named nirvana, Compared to empty space, Crossing over to nothingness.
雖有所講說， 則非以辭言， 諸佛行善權， 合集說法耳。」
Though there is teaching, It is not through words, All Buddhas practice skillful means, Merely gathering to teach the Dharma."
於是，阿難說此偈已，前白佛言：「惟天中天！其世人民不解如來、至真、等正覺隨時之化，則自侵欺，不了如來何因分別菩薩大士持信奉法至于緣覺也？」
At this, after Ānanda had spoken these verses, he came forward and said to the Buddha: "O Lord of Devas! The people of the world do not understand the Tathāgata, the Truly and Perfectly Enlightened One's timely transformations, and thus deceive themselves, not understanding why the Tathāgata distinguishes great bodhisattvas from maintaining faith and upholding Dharma to the Pratyekabuddha level?"
世尊告曰：「若有明者，於過去佛積功累德，心開意達，不見侵欺。所以者何？曉了諸法譬若幻夢影響、野馬水月。所以者何？菩薩大士分別此慧，則不自侵；慇懃修學如來之法，精進不懈，則不自枉。」
The World-Honored One said: "If there are those with wisdom, who have accumulated merits and virtues with past Buddhas, their minds open and understanding reached, they do not see deception. Why is this so? They understand all dharmas as like illusions, dreams, echoes, mirages, and reflections of the moon in water. Why is this so? Great bodhisattvas distinguishing this wisdom do not deceive themselves; diligently studying the Tathāgata's Dharma, being energetic without laziness, they do not mislead themselves."
佛於是頌曰：
Then the Buddha spoke these verses:
世尊之所讚， 讚揚於聖道， 是故之因緣， 菩薩行勇猛。
What the World-Honored One praises, Praising the holy path, For this cause and condition, Bodhisattvas practice valiantly.
少智懈怠者， 不能解此義， 故當修精進， 如來以此說。
Those with little wisdom and laziness, Cannot understand this meaning, Therefore one should cultivate diligence, Thus the Tathāgata teaches.
道意所遊生， 世尊有開化， 故分別此慧， 清淨之明哲。
Where the path-mind travels and arises, The World-Honored One transforms, Therefore distinguishing this wisdom, Pure and brilliant wisdom.
彼解道意者， 知聖不可獲， 若致得知軌， 心覺五事空。
Those who understand the path-mind, Know the holy is unobtainable, If attaining knowledge of the track, The mind realizes the five things as empty.
空者不知空， 寂定非不言， 悉除一切音， 故讚唱空法。
Emptiness does not know emptiness, Tranquil concentration is not non-speech, Completely eliminating all sounds, Therefore praising the dharma of emptiness.
捉空無所得， 未甞能獲者， 假使不可持， 則知為空義。
Grasping emptiness obtains nothing, Never able to acquire it, If it cannot be held, Then one knows the meaning of emptiness.
設有解是五， 分別了空慧， 成得無放逸， 則不自侵欺。」
If one understands these five, Distinguishing and understanding empty wisdom, Accomplishing non-negligence, Then not self-deceiving."
爾時，五億比丘志懷持信，即從坐起，住世尊前，叉手自歸，異口同音而歌頌曰：
At that time, five hundred million bhikṣus who aspired to maintain faith rose from their seats, stood before the World-Honored One, joined their palms in homage, and with different mouths but one voice sang these verses:
